Try to use different usb port / change pc / make sure you are pressin the right combination of buttons.

Led light should be green while using flash tools.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] en.osama:
I try all these and still dont enter flash mode :(

where are experts?? I need help :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Try this:

1. Pull battery off the phone

2. Wait 15 seconds

3. Insert battery

4. Hold volume down and while holding plug in the usb. Just volume down, not power or anything!

5. When the green led lights up, flash the unbricking .ftf and after that a generic stock firmware.ftf (for example .587)

Hope this works :)

If you can't figure out the problem and fix it, send it to the repair center and let them do it for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dudeicles:
Anyone have an idea why every time I install an aosp rom it glitches at the Samsung boot screen then just goes black and I have to pull the battery? I've installed clean, jelly beans and jedi Rom without issue. Any help is appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Update your twrp then try again. Make sure your doing full wipes and flashing gapps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dudeicles:
Just updated my TWRP to 2.4 and did what you suggested with the wiping and same problem.

The Samsung Galaxy screen glitches to half way off the screen, then goes off, then comes back on then the whole thing goes black and nothing.

I'm going to try another rom and see if it still does it as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dudeicles:
Even with another ROM it doesn't seem to want to work. It's really weird, because any Touchwiz ROM works fine, it only does it on AOSP roms..... I'm hoping someone knows what the fix for this is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Odin to stock then re unlock and try this all again? I'm not sure what else you can try. I flip between aosp and tw almost daily
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
The Note 2 that couldn't...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] s10sdeville:
Heh I think I can I think I can...I was thinken are you trying to flash the file that the post links to because thats not the right one you need to get the note 2 lte one tolte..just a though I downloaded the wrong one first but caught it

http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#t0lte/cm10.1/next
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Acery:
in my experience, you need to do a factory wipe again AFTER you install or you will get a bootloop.

I think CM10.1 mentions that in their install process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Yeah it can't hurt even if they don't say that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dudeicles:
Would it help in any way to change to CWM when flashing my AOSP roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bendystrawboy:
I would try cwm, I had a gs3 that couodnt flash anything with cwm but could with twrp, my note was the opposite, cwm was awful on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dudeicles:
Just ran into something very interesting . When I installed Rom Manager and flashed the CWM recovery, I rebooted and my boot screen did the exact same thing it was doing installing AOSP roms. It would seem my problem may just be CWM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
I've heard too many issues with cwm to even try it. Twrp has been flawless for me so why switch? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. :rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dudeicles:
Ok, so update - Odin'd back to stock and re-rooted using the Casual method. I have the most recent TWRP installed and when i install the AOSP rom it does the exact same thing. I'm thinking about videotaping what the boot animation does and maybe someone can look at it and see what the cause may possibly be.

If anyone has any other suggestions i'm all ears. Again, any rom based on STOCK works without issue (Clean Rom, Jelly Beans and Jedi), but only AOSP roms (And CWM) crash the phone at "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen on startup.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, just weird it's not working. I may have the single note 2 to never run AOSP roms. LOL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dudeicles:
so... oddly enough i still have trouble installing AOSP roms. the only AOSP rom i have been able to install so far is Paranoid Droid. I am slowly trying each one just to see which one i can force to work. Am I the only person who can't just flash whichever rom I want whenever?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spydersilk:
Anyone with other ideas on this? I was frequently flashing back and forth between TW and AOSP. The other day I tried to flash AOSP again and get a failed message in TWRP. Already using latest version of TWRP. I then restore a backup of TW. Download again, verify md5, get failed message again. And yes, I wiped everything...same thing I do everytime. Now I have tried to DL and flash multiple different AOSP roms and I get failed everytime. Decided to try CWM recovery and that just aborts. I have NO problems flashing TW roms though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrewjt19:
Follow the advice to Odin back to stock and start over. Otherwise, get a replacement and tell them it's acting weird and slow haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slinky42:
Same here!!

I currently have a Tmobile Note 2. And i recently ran into the same issue. I think it started after installing a certain paranoid andrroid rom, which wrote OS folders differently from what i am normally used to seeing. The folders were 0, legacy, and obb. I also notice that it changed my device id to an SGH-i317, which is an ATT Note 2. The rom was a port from an ATT rom of course, but if it was for ATT, it wouldn't work on my device right? I installed GOOmanager, and flashed the OPEN INSTALL SCRIPT. Which it flashed the ATT version. Everything still worked. I flashed back to stock, and updated OTA. Still nothing. I've also noticed that, if i can open the zip file on my pc, it will work on my phone. For some reason, The AOSP files read invalid. While the Touchwiz roms open like a regular zip file.

Any help is appreciated. Hope some of this info helps.

Just realized i posted in the Verizon section. But i think you and I are the only two people with this issue...lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
This is standard on 4.2.2 ROMs. It is related to the multi-user implementation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dudeicles:
Did you ever get your phone to install the AOSP Roms? Mine worked when l just let the phone sit. Now it works fine all the time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] M4ver1ck:
Anybody able to get into google now menu after the update? I can hit the menu button but the pop up menu just immediately disappears.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] daddiov:
Same here. Stock Unrooted after 4.1.2 OTA. No access to Google Now Menu. Flashes briefly then disappears. Tried to clear cache but won't clear. Tried to uninstall updates in application manger but hangs on uninstalling screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] donatom3:
Click on the bar at the top to bring up your keyboard and now the menu will stay open.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] daddiov:
No difference

Menu won't stay open whether keyboard present or not. Using Swiftkey.

Finally got the Google Search update to uninstall and the menu opens normally when not updated. Hmmm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yogidog98:
I have the same issue. Re-updated and menu flashes and disappears.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skinneejay:
Add me to this list also. It's a bug in the new search update. It really sucks. Thankfully I don't need to use the menu/setting that much.

If I do I can get into it via settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Compusmurf:
Do a dummy search first, then try it....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] angross:
Worked. I just typex something then hit the menu key. Odd, but thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] daddiov:
Yep, this worked for me too. Now if I can just figure out why my battery life took a hit with the new update. Life will be good again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skinneejay:
I was able to get into that menu. But I still can't get into the menu if nothing is typed in the search bar.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] budde2:
Same problem here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] allin1der:
Quick update. Still happening.

Workaround (based on previous posts and trials)

Open Google Now.

Type a space (or any placeholder text in the search bar.

Close the keyboard and retry the menu key. The menu should now pop up and float there.

The search bar seems to have to have something in it for menu to not instantly close again. I've put as little as just that space and it works.

Wonder how Google missed that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
I would hypothesize that this is a Samsung Twiz ROM issue, rather than a Google oops...Trying it on my PACMan 20.1 install I fail to get the bug.

Anyone in this thread so far not using a Sammy TWiz ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] anishannayya:
Uninstall and re-install Google Search. Clear Google Talk data in App management. Reboot.

It'll work after that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Homeuser66:
HI, this question is for the SGH-T989 specific, so some of the other answers I saw for other devices didn't really help me..

I recently just Rooted my phone!! Yay...I know, it's about time...Well, I'm trying to understand this stuff as I go about this journey...Basically I bought this phone once it came out..(Oct. 2011) I had the original Gingerbread 2.3.6 on it.. periodically getting the updates and installing them till I was on the ICS 4.0? whatever one came out in Aug-Sept 2012. With that said, I had some issues and wanted to go backwards, which I did successfully using ODIN..that's where I stayed for the last 5 months or so....

I actually had a hard time trying to get the super user 3.0.7 installed, so I had to use an older CWM (recovery-cmw-hercules.tar) which allowed me to install the SU...

I guess I needed to be on ICS in order for the latest one's to work. I now want to install ICS (the latest one) in order to try out some ROM's and was wondering:

1. Once I upgrade to ICS from GB, will I have to Root all over again?

2. Will my Nandroid back up still work if I restore it from back up in the Recovery Area? reinstalling all my apps and data for apps?

3. I'm using Titanium Back up too, so does this mean, that once I Nandroid back up, I can wipe it as many times as I want, I can just restore all my stuff using the Nandroid back up/ Restore?

I was going to use the last 2 of the followling: ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.2.7 or ClockworkMod Touch Recovery 6.0.2.7 or TWRP Touch Recovery 2.4.1.0 again, as I tried them before, the Super User didn't work..But understand that these 2 will, when I update...

Basically, I don't want to loose all my Data and apps, but if I need to back them up, I will, just in case...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nivekx9:
You'll be able to keep your data if updating from Kies. I don't know if your root will stick, but it's a simple task to reroot it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bzlik88:
1. I'm 99% sure u will lose root. BUT that's my opinion and you need the fact so wait till someone else answers. However I don't see the harm in re-rooting. As stated before - quite simple.

2. No if u restore a nandroid back up u would undo ur progress and go back to gingerbread - the exact state in which you created the backup.

3. If you are using Titanium and all u need backed up is ur apps and data then ur set. Doing a nandroid backup is just a safety net in case ur update to ICS goes wrong. If your update goes well then that backup is now useless. If it goes wrong then u restore your backup to gingerbread and try the whole process again. So in summary - Nandroid for system backup , Titanium for apps and data. Also, as long as you don't wipe ur internal storage or SD card u will always have ur titanium back ups saved and therefore can wipe in recovery as much as u want since it only effects the system partition.

I see your confusion lies in differentiating between a nandroid backup and apps/data backup and what each one is for. Hope I cleared it up. Good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Homeuser66:
Yes!! Thanks!! You cleared up a lot of questions I had. I also answered some of my own by just doing things with trial and error, but you also answered and cleared things up for me...Thanks!!!

Hi guys! I'm with a big stupid problem. I'm trying to flash the stock rom 4.2.2 (JDQ39)

When I try to flash the system.img i get this message:

writing 'system'...

FAILED <Write Fail>

Finished. total time 43.266s

What should I do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
wrong.

'fastboot flash recovery twrp_or_cwm.img', then directly from bootloader select for Recovery Mode with volume keys, press power, done you're in recovery, use 'adb push /path/to/rom_filename.zip /sdcard/', reflash.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realwisam:
I have a pretty much stock S3, unrooted, etc. I broke the screen. I'm trying to backup my files so I can restore to my new S3. Kies sucks, it keeps timing out.

All I really want is my text messages (contacts, cal, etc are synced with Google, I'll just redownload all my apps). I can access the file system to download files from the phone via Kies (I've pulled all my pictures off the phone). Is there a way to pull the text message db off the phone too?

I was hoping there is a single file on the system somewhere with all the texts and I could simply copy that to my computer and then copy that to my new S3 in the same location...

Dear Scritch007

I am a recently new user of my older brothers x10i and i started to dig in the sources and look for fixes and found a few thing but not sure.

I wanted to ask your permission if i am allowed to build your kernel sources and try to improve it and eventualy if u like it to share and help in with the kernel development. Because i have 32 bit pc only so i cant improve and compile from rom source if i am correctly informed..

I already cloned your kernel sources but totally forgot too ask if i am allowed. If not i will remove it directly i dont want too disturb you and your awsome job on the kernel's and rom's. I hope to get a reply soon i am very eager to try and biting my nails already (>_<) Haha.

Greets Baastyr and thanks already no matter what your answer is. xP
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scritch007:
Good to have someone motivated in kernel development.

The sources are made for this, use them, just think about the credits and that will be good.

Latest v19 sources are not yet available to everyone. Will probaly push it next week.

Please if you make some changes keep them tracked on your github, that would be nice, and I will eventually pull them to CMx10 repo.

Good luck in kernel Dev :).

Don't hesitate to pm me for information
[Motorola Atrix 2] Biom4st3r:
I have read around the forums a lot in my free time(I have lots) and from my understanding: the reason we can't flash the NS loader is because, the efuse/s won't accept the signature from it. Is it possible to switch the signatures(or like a small part of the data inside the file) is make it seem like its the HS loader? Don't hate on me to much, but this seem like it could work? maybe?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Nope.

The ONLY way is to get the efuse to flip, or use a root kit and trick the phone into thinking it is an NS and not an HS, then flash the NS BL from some built in CMW recovery in the root kits image.

Good luck.
[Motorola Atrix 2] darth_nihar:
There's some post on using the external sd to trick it into working is there any news on that ??? :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yes, that was tested many moons ago. The issue is getting the NS bootloader to boot. Even by trying to boot off the sdcard with the NS bootloader the efuse is still checked to see if it is truly an NS phone.

The root kit method with the NS bootloader to trick it to think the efuse was set to NS, gave me another brick. That was the last bootloader trick I had up my sleeve before I quit trying to unlock the bootloader on the A2.

Not sure if anyone has tried anything else since then though.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] Mnvok56:
I'm not sure if I did something wrong but when I rebooted the phone in 'download mode' it's stuck, saying "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!". What do I do now? I tried running Odin3 but it just said successful but I'm not sure if anything happened.

Update: I noticed that Odin doesn't recognize my drive so I guess it's just stuck in that 'download mode' and I think I know why. I read that the IMEI needs to be recognized and while this was probably not a smart move I followed this guide to root the phone before I put in my SIM card because I have to break it loose and after that I can't use it in my old phone. Question is, what the hell do I do now? Since it says I can't reboot it and I can't use Odin it's a bit of a dilemma.

Update 2: Nevermind, I had forgotten to update USB drivers and then reboot. Question, is it possible to continue without TriangleAway? They warned about potential bricking the phone and I'm not planning on flashing any ROMs at the moment.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] serophia:
Make sure to go to google playstore and download SuperSU and update it, afterwards just download Triangle Away and use it. I rooted my phone 2 days ago and everything is perfect.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Mnvok56:
Yes but I don't want the risk of bricking the phone. Assuming I don't get a power outage during activation with TriangleAway there's minimal chance that something gets screwed up?

On this phone you don't get a triangle on boot, but it's seen only in download mode.
